GM and Happy New Year Citizens!
WHAT. A. YEAR.2021 was the year of building at finance.vote. I will give a brief overview of 2021 but watch out for a follow-up newsletter with Dr Nick’s 2021 reflection.
FVT achieved the following dApp and DAO milestones in 2021:
yield.vote - A liquidity mining and staking platform that provides users of token ecosystems with yield opportunities to support the creation of decentralised markets.Want an engaging, gamified liquidity mining system that uses radical crypto economics to build markets in a way that's tuneable by governance? yield.vote
influence.vote - A signalling tool and consensus mechanism. NFT or token gated off-chain quadratic voting with and semantic ballots.NFT DAOs Any NFT can be a voting ID. We’ve been focusing on this with influence.vote. We’ll be working mostly on this throughout the year. NFT based decision making is the killer app.
Then we ran an experiment focused on the 2020 mayoral election in London, UK. The experiment was called london.vote:@glenweyl Hard to say good for the world just yet but we’re experimenting with new DAO organisational designs which could be transformative. We’ve done some interesting QV experiments too
bank.vote - Not a bank. bank.vote provides DAOs with a secure, scalable infrastructure for token vesting. Want to payroll a million contributors? bank.vote enables that.
mint.vote - An NFT fair launch platform. mint.vote was built to avoid user harm, gas races, and other shenanigans that typically accompany NFT launches. We launched Shibaku via mint.vote (please see below)
tribesDAO - FVT’s first incubated DAO. tribesDAO is a metaDAO and a future home for all the tribes of the cryptoverse.Today we unveiled to our DAO members the first @financedotvote DAO incubation project, which we’re calling tribesDAO. Here’s a thread on what it is and why it’s important for the DAO space and the wider Cryptospace👇
Shibaku launch - tribesDAO’s first incubated NFT tribe and home of the dog coiners.Very utility. Much premium. Play To Win - Enter the metaverse. Win rewards. Own To Win - Match your symbols. Be a winner. Vote To Win - Use your Shibaku's voice. Vote. Win. #Shibaku is more than just a good doggo. discord.gg/tribesdao
Chainlink integration - FVT was one of the first protocols to integrate Chainlink’s Keepers to automate and decentralise settlement of markets.vote.The Assembbly - This week Dr. Nick talks about the #ChainLink intergration and the oracle problem in #DeFi and #Crypto $FVT youtu.be/jRF4r9WOwVo
We also forged these amazing alliances that are now benefiting from FVT tech:
Stoner Cats Alliance: An NFT gated animated short series founded by Mila Kunis and Ashton Kucher. FVT is providing infrastructure via influence.vote to the newly named Metawood DAO (a name chosen via governance using influence.vote).Oh, meow 🙀 what a #DAO! @stonercatstv is not just an #NFT project, featuring a range of Hollywood stars, including guest spots from crypto legend @VitalikButerin. It is also an exploration of decentralized entertainment and content curation....
TotemFi Alliance: Staking-based prediction markets for the crypto community. FVT is providing infrastructure via influence.vote.Mo' Alpha, Mo' Better!💥 @TotemFi & $FVT are dropping some tonight 🎯 Tune in at 5.30pm UTC ⏰ You won't regret it! (Thank me later)👈 Join the discussion: bit.ly/3bgfpaI #LFG #DAO #DeFi
iTrust Alliance: Risk-managed staking for DeFi insurance. FVT is providing infrastructure via yield.vote.iTrust Finance, Chainlink, Olyseum... the partnerships & DAO Alliances have already started & with the demystifying nature of the $FVT dApps and the simplicity of design and ease of use, many more will follow. $FVT holders are rewarded with every single alliance formed, too.
DeFi Live: The London based FVT Team attended the DeFi Live conference to mix it with fellow degens.
FVT also launched its first of many miniDAOs: propaganDAO, the dataDAO and artistDAO. Communications wise, we have established the Programme, Newsletter and Taskboard. The DAO also took the plunge to make the move from Telegram to Discord, which has been a big undertaking but definetly makes for a better digital home for the DAO.Last but not least, we have been joined by a community of engaged, diverse, insightful and philosophical people who exude gdefinitelyood vibes. I speak on behalf of the other DAO leaders when I say this: It's been an absolute pleasure to meet you, get to know you and welcome you to the FVT family. There's a chance we may never meet in real life, but know this: we’ve got your back citizen! If we meet in real life though, Milky Bars are on me.
It’s fair to say it has been a hectic 12 months, and the next 12 will likely be just as busy, if not busier. Nevertheless, we are excited to share this journey with you and grow together. The road ahead is far longer than the one behind us, and we look forward to traversing it together.
Join a DAO, build a DAO, change the world.
